Chapter Seventy-Two: Happiness Comes Too Suddenly

After the New Year, the students who had been on vacation returned to Zhixingyuan one after another, listening to the students who had not returned home talking about the wonderful competition not long ago, and then seeing the library building that was burned beyond recognition by the fire, and they couldn't accept the facts in front of them for a while.

Li Bei, from being admired from high above, to being scolded and criticized by everyone, it only took more than ten days.

With the fire in the library building, his past glory and glory were burned together.

All the students began to praise He An, and even regretted that He An did not beat Li Bei, the thousand-knife killer, to death in the ring.

For a while, the name He An once again resounded in Zhixing Academy.

"He An, this stinky boy, it's okay, it's just ...... The killing was not decisive enough, I knew that this was the case, I should have kicked that brute to death in the first place! ”

In the Zhixing Pavilion, Cheng Ziya was furious, slapped his big hand on his leg, and said, "Senior brother, I really can't imagine that this beast would dare to burn the library!"

"At this point, we are blamed for being too negligent...... I asked Qiuchi to re-establish the isolation protection formation in several important buildings in the courtyard, and this kind of thing must not happen again......"

Wei Zhilin frowned, a touch of melancholy appeared on his face, and he sighed and continued: "The teacher went overseas alone, and there is no news so far...... I'm really worried! ”

"Senior brother, don't worry about it!"

Cheng Ziya supported the ground with his hands, sat on the floor on his back, grabbed the wine jar on the case, poured a sip and said: "Master, his old man's ability, don't talk about those handful of old monsters...... Even if you look at the whole world, who is his opponent? ”

"That being said...... But when the teacher left, he handed over the Zhixing Academy to you and me, and now ...... The library building was burned, and early this morning, the palace also sent someone to send down a decree! ”

Wei Zhilin said, took out the bright yellow satin holy decree from the bookcase next to him, and handed it to Cheng Ziya.

"Oh......"

Cheng Ziya raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother, you know that I don't like to look at these mothers-in-law, just tell me, what did the emperor's eldest nephew say?"

Back then, Wei Zhilin taught the two princes for the national teacher, and Cheng Ziya also instructed them in martial arts in his spare time, he had a bold personality and was not as strict as Wei Zhilin, so the two princes liked to be close to him, and Cheng Ziya jokingly called them his eldest nephews.

Although the second prince of the year is now the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, in Cheng Ziya's mind, the emperor is still the young man with strong blood, so in private, this title has not changed.

"It is said by the decree...... Knowing that the library of our Zhixing Academy was burned, His Majesty was very worried, and this matter was not only a loss to the Zhixing Academy, but also a loss to the Great Chen Empire. Moreover, it is a matter of the face of the imperial court, and His Majesty demands that this matter be thoroughly investigated and that the relevant culprits be severely punished......"

Wei Zhilin's eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character, holding three strands of long beard, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty is grateful for Mr. Guoshi's earnest teaching back then, every time I think about it, I can't sleep at night, and now Mr. Wang's hard work has been burned, Your Majesty's heart is heartbroken, and the head of Zhixing Academy also has the fault of negligence......"

Cheng Ziya held the wine jar in his arms and said, "What did the eldest nephew say...... It's sincere, I'll punish myself with three cups first! ”

After speaking, he raised his head and drank a few big sips.

Wei Zhilin looked at Cheng Ziya, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "The Holy Decree finally said that the industry is good at diligence and frolic, in order to prevent the Zhixing Academy from slacking off, during the Qingming Festival, it will have a big competition with Longmen Academy, and each will select the outstanding......"

"Ahh......h

Cheng Ziya's eyes widened, interrupting Wei Zhilin's words, and he turned over and sat up.

"This moth is here, and I will say that according to his nature, how can it be...... It turned out to be a cat crying mouse fake compassion, hehe...... Let's compete with Longmen Academy, senior brother, we must not lose! ”

"Yes, if you lose to the Longmen Academy, which was established less than a year ago...... Your Majesty, the forces of the court, what will they think of my Zhixing Academy? By then...... I'm afraid of our ......"

Wei Zhilin said, took a porcelain bowl from the cabinet, took the wine jar and poured a glass.

This wine jar is made of clay, very thick, with a wide mouth and a big belly, plus the wine inside, I am afraid that it will weigh more than dozens of catties, Wei Zhilin clasped the mouth of the altar with two fingers, raised his arms and hung his wrists, and the wine turned into a thin line and poured out, filling a bowl, but it was not spilled.

"Senior brother, good kung fu!"

Cheng Ziya praised loudly on the side.

Wei Zhilin picked up the bowl, took a sip, frowned deeply, and continued: "Over the years, the disciples in my Zhixing Academy have either joined the court as officials, or served in the army, or have been sent to various places for business, and now...... There are not many outstanding disciples who can compete with Longmen Academy...... This matter is a lot of trouble for Lao Ziya, after all, there are so many students, the martial arts are all the way, which is better and which is worse, you, the head of the martial arts academy, are more familiar than me. ”

Cheng Ziya stood up, his halberd was stretched, and his voice was like a thunderbolt: "Senior brother, don't worry, let's select a few good players and teach that Longmen Academy a hard lesson, even if you lose...... The eldest nephew, how is he doing? If you provoke me, I will go to the Jinluan Palace to beat him! ”

"Senior brother, don't talk nonsense!"

Wei Zhilin's face was gloomy, put down the wine bowl and said, "When will you be able to change your reckless temperament!"

…………

Dingding Street is more lively than ever, and many shops are filled with lanterns of various shapes.

The hawkers shouted and shouted, and there were lion dancers and stilt walkers passing by, attracting pedestrians on the streets, and the noisy atmosphere diluted the cold winter wind......

Today is Shangyuan Festival, the most lively festival in the New Year.

The Zhixing Academy has been very unquiet recently, and yesterday the spy reported that Li Bei had defected to Xiliang, and now he is the commander of the Qinzhou Border Guards.

This explosive news, like a spring thunder, caused a sensation in Zhixingyuan, and it is said that the head of the courtyard knew about it and angrily smashed the fine pear blossom wooden table with one palm.

At noon, the news reached the palace, and it was said that His Majesty was having dinner, and he was very angry and threw the ivory gold chopsticks in his hand......

The students of Zhixing Academy were furious, and Li Bei once again became the target of public criticism, and some even shouted that they would go to the border and kill this fang.

Jin Caiyun was also scolded and disgusted by the students who loved the house and Wu because of his relationship with Li Bei, and some people remembered the turmoil when He An molested Jin Caiyun not long ago, and suddenly felt that things were a little weird.

Who is Ho An? That's the hero who almost killed Li Bei, a heinous and rebellious thief, how could he do this? Thinking of this, when people looked at Jin Caiyun again, they became a little strange......

…………

On the Shangyuan Festival, Zhixing Academy took a day off, and the students took to the streets, the temple fair, the garden to watch the lanterns and enjoy the scenery, and feel the endless prosperity of the imperial capital Luoyang.

At dusk, the colorful booths erected on the streets are lit up one after another, and there are colorful lights everywhere, and sometimes you can see fireworks blooming.

Ding Wenruo was wearing a white dress and a fox fur, standing at the door of Zhixing Courtyard full of worries, she looked inside from time to time with a pair of wonderful eyes, hesitated for a while, and still mustered up the courage to walk in.

On the night of the first yuan, the lanterns of Luoyang City are all lit up, the golden light shines on each other, and the splendid flowing colors are reflected in the meantime, it is said that His Majesty will have fun with the people tonight, and there will be many fireworks in the palace.

In such a romantic and indulgent night, many men and women meet and travel together.

Ding Wenruo wanted to ask He An to go to the Lantern Festival together, but the girl's unique reserve made her a little ashamed.

There were many students in and out of Zhixing Academy, Ding Wenruo walked all the way to the vicinity of the dining hall, and finally saw the familiar figure, a touch of joy appeared on her face, and she stepped forward briskly.

"Ho...... Ho An! ”

Ding Wenruo shouted like a mosquito, and a touch of red appeared on his cheeks.

"Wen Ruo, why are you here? But what's the matter with Mr. Ding? ”

He An saw Ding Wenruo's cheeks crimson and his forehead sweating slightly, thinking that the teacher Ding Feiyong asked her to find herself, and couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"I didn't ...... My father is fine, tonight is the night of Shangyuan, I ...... I...... Ignorance...... Do you have some leisure? ”

Ding Wenruo wrung his clothes a little crampedly, and wanted to ask He An to visit the Lantern Festival together, but he couldn't say anything anyway.

"I'm fine at night, I'm just going out to see the lanterns, why don't we go together!"

He An's answer made Ding Wenruo's heart suddenly overjoyed, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Great, Wen Ruo is also here, let's go together, I invite everyone to eat rock sugar gourd."

Fan Dazhi came out from behind He An with a smile, and couldn't wait to shake his fat hand and greet.

Ding Wenruo covered his lips with his sleeves, and couldn't help but smile, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the woman who walked to He An's side with Fan Dazhi, and a smile quietly condensed on his face.

I saw Han Chanjuan wearing an orange-red long gauze skirt, a rose-red brocade jacket, snow-white rabbit fluff sewn at the corners, and a brocade-like hair with a red jade coral hairpin pulled into a falling moon hairpin.

"Oh...... I still...... There is something, go ahead...... I'll take my leave! ”

Ding Wenruo was a little lost in his heart for a moment, and said incoherently, without waiting for He An to speak, he turned around and left quickly......

I don't know how far she went, Ding Wenruo slowed down, and the inexplicable sourness in her heart made her eyes moist.

She walked in despair, walked out of Zhixingyuan, and walked into the crowd of people on the street......

Gu Qingzhou rode a high-headed horse, walking slowly in the crowd, wearing a golden crown with a bundle of hair and inlaid treasures, eyebrows tied to the two dragons to grab beads and wipe his forehead, wearing a golden butterfly wearing a big red arrow sleeve, a colorful flower knot with a long spike palace silk, and a small court boot with a blue satin foundation on his feet.

Gu Qingzhou is already handsome, and this dress is even more heroic and handsome, and he is suave, which has caused many women to review frequently.

Gu Qingzhou was in high spirits, sitting on the horse and looking left and right, suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, looked carefully, it was actually Ding Wenruo, who was haunted by his dreams.

"Oops! Wen Ruo, why are you alone? Your face is so bad, are you sick? ”

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly jumped off the horse, separated the crowd, ran to Ding Wenruo's side, and asked with concern.

"No............ Oh...... Probably...... I didn't sleep well last night...... "Ding Wenruo was a little embarrassed when he met an acquaintance, and he tidied up his sideburns and hair.

Gu Qingzhou didn't expect Wen Ruo to talk to him with a pleasant face, and his heart was full of joy, and he followed her step by step, and said with a flattering smile: "There are so many people tonight, you are too unsafe to be alone, I heard that there are fireworks going to be set off in the palace later, why don't I accompany you to take a look?"

Ding Wenruo thought of the scene of He An and Han Chanjuan traveling side by side in her mind, and there was nowhere to leave the sour feeling in her heart, and she said with some sadness: "It's okay...... Let's check it out......"

Gu Qingzhou was overjoyed, waved his hand to the servants and a few dog friends and fox friends who gathered behind him, signaled them to get away, and then followed behind Ding Wenruo.

This sudden huge happiness made Gu Qingzhou a little dizzy, and he muttered, "Am I dreaming?" Am I dreaming? …… Happiness came too suddenly......... Wen Ruo...... I...... I'm so happy......"

Looking at Ding Wenruo's tall and beautiful neck, Gu Qingzhou shouted excitedly in his heart......
